Mnemonic for electrochemical series
Mnemonic for electrochemical series
Remember this… KINGS CAN NOT MAKE A ZEBRA. I LIKE HIS CAR’S SILVERY GATE.
Kings- POTASSIUM
Can- CALCIUM
Not- (NA)SODIUM
Make- MAGNESIUM
A- ALUMINIUM
Zebra- ZINC
I- IRON
Like- LEAD
His- HYDROGEN
Car’s-COPPER
Silvery-SILVER
Gate- GOLD
I think it’s the easiest way out here.
NOTE- Gold has the highest ease of reduction and potassium the lowest. This series is useful for finding the preference of which cation should go to to the cathode during electrolysis.
